First, 2 marathons! Wow! Great job! I'm currently training for my first in May.

Second, welcome to Spark and the Ohio team. I'm up I'm Marion, but co-lead the Columbus and Fit Buckeye Fans teams. If you're ever going to be running in C-bus please let us know. We often have a lunch for Sparks somewhere to refuel and socialize.

Best wishes!
